I saw this @ Arcade Otaku a moment ago. Check it out: http://caveinteractive.com In other news, it seems like I’ve landed a new job. So, while updates will be farther apart, they will likely be more worthwhile as they appear here.

Squidman has made some cool stuff to Ketsui over here: click I hope all of this can be worked into a rom you can burn and put on your Ketsui PCB. Imagine getting new arrange modes, added functionality etc. Just like the zakk roms for Battle Garegga. 😀

One week from release 5pb finally present us with a TATE option for their region free 360 shmup, Bullet Soul.

Today over at the shmups forums a new post caught my eye. Check out the added content in the Player 2 bomb stock below: A forum regular ”austere” has reverse-engineered the game from top to bottom, and made a patch available for those who wants to try it out: This is a modified version of …

About me

Hi folks,

I'm a bit too old (born 1974), father of two girls and one boy and have been an avid arcade game fan since I first got to play Knuckle Joe (the game's really crap, what was Taito thinking?) but it got me hooked. Me and a couple of my friends used to ride our bikes around town just to check out the latest games. And we we're really good at playing them. Luckily for me, the game operators responsible for the machines around my home town really had a great feel for what games would be popular.

Look at my collection to see some of the titles that I now as an adult had do have. I was too young to play at the local video rental (they had two NSM cabinets and later switched one of them to a JK Cabinet) and the best operator in town, Video Games was their name.

I stood there watching the older kids play. There was the 15 year age-limit and I was only about 13 at the time. I also played a lot on Aleph cabinets. The operator that favoured those is called Adon-Bolagen.
